The first vampire novel I had ever read was a watered-down kid-friendly version of Dracula way back during my elementary days. The introduction of Count Dracula led me to read the vampire tales from Point Horror and, later, Anne Rice's bloody vampire stories. My taste for the horror sub-genre has weakened over the years, though occasionally I will read a newer title, such as Turning Point by K. M. Smith.
Turning Point is under 300 pages, so it's a quick read. Well, at least it was a quick read for me. Unfamiliar with the author, I didn't know what to expect from the story, but it turned out to be entertaining. The characters are well written, the dialogue is non-cringe, and the descriptions are detailed just enough to paint a picture in your mind for every scene. While the plot isn't groundbreaking for the vampire genre, the author's intriguing storytelling is what makes Turning Point a fun read.
To sum things up, Turning Point is a well-written and fast-paced vampire tale. It would make a great read for Halloween.
